What you’re about to hear is a Reporter for Radio Pacis during my recent learning trip to Uganda, answering one of my questions before the event began – from time to time, I saw people wearing sports logos, especially of teams that play football / soccer and he said that seems to give people some hope and togetherness…

From a Saturday social media post on a school page: Kyle Degler, a beloved English Teacher and football coach at Tipton Middle School passed away from injuries sustained in an automobile accident earlier in that day. Counselors will be available this week from 8 a.m. to noon at the TMS Media Center.
Recently, a Muncie case of a stolen booze truck – they caught that guy as we reported. Now this: Liquor gone missing from the clubhouse at the Little Falls Minnesota Country Club. They were fixing a lock on a door in early June and discovered that 119 bottles were missing, representing a loss of over $23,000 if it would have been served. The Morrison County Record says this might be the second time since the fall of 2023 when there were booze bewilderments – they previously found a bunch that disappeared, too. The suspected theft remains under investigation of local cops and auditor’s office.
